The Cathedral Choir School of Delaware is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax-deductible.
On June 18 - 23, 2008, boys and girls from the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware traveled to New York City and sang in some of its most historic churches.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for 30 young people, ages 9 to 17 years, who live in the Wilmington area and who attend the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware. While on tour, choristers stayed at the Saint Thomas Choir School and sang at five landmark churches: Saint Thomas Fifth Avenue, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity Wall Street and Saint John the Divine.
The Cathedral Choir School nurtures and mentors its students through their most at risk adolescent years and provides them with 10 hours of professional choral training, private piano lessons, peer leadership training, and academic and career mentoring each week during the non-school hours. The Cathedral Choir School has been recognized at the White House as one of the best after-school programs in the nation by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.
The Cathedral Choir School is open to any child regardless of religious affiliation. More than 50% of students live in neighborhoods that are considered high-risk by the Wilmington Criminal Justice Council because of high poverty and low education levels. By recognizing the unique abilities of each student, setting high standards of achievement, and involving families and the community in the training program, the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware shapes the next generation of community leaders through the power of music.
Thank you for helping to give young peopleÊa professional and cultural experience beyond their imaginations!
Sincerely,
Dr. Darryl Roland
Artistic Director
